Thanks a lot for finding this out. One of the two reports in bug 9320
seems to be the same problem although the other doesn't seem to be. So,
it seems we'll have to check that both primary and secondary slots are
empty and skip _GTM if so. :-(

Also, right, there's no need to fail suspend on _GTM failure whatever
the error is. That was me being anal again. Will incorporate both into
the ACPI fixes patchset.

Thanks.
